As I recall I got up 2 to 3 times each night at first.  That reduced to
2 times fairly fast, and now it averages once per night.  Once in awhile I
get a whole night's sleep.  In my case I am still incontinent a year after
the RRP.  Only 1 to 2 pads per day, but I still leak.  I have never leaked
when lying down, even from the start.
   Good luck to you.  It will get better.  It just takes time.
   Thank you.

Drink lots of water.........and or fluids.  Challenge the damaged area.
Walk.  Don't just walk around the house walk a mile or 2.  Serious.  That
helps.
Practice kiegels...start and stop the stream.....
No-one wants to do this, and it is not easy.  It works....
All experiences from all people differ.
I do know that all problems seem to get better with time.
I suggest to walk, drink lots of fluids, practice kiegels.....stop and start
pee pee
Work on that, and then let us all know your progress.

You've got to give yourself some time to re-stretch your bladder.  As the
weeks go on your ability and comfort level will improve.  My cath came out
6/28 and I'm only dribbling some - usually towards the end of the day.

Give it time, do kegels and drink the usual amount that you would normally
drink.

Good luck,

Mike, seems I went quite often right after the catheter came out as well. As
the anastamosis heals and the sphincter control becomes more involuntary,
I'll bet the urgency to urinate will lessen in frequency. Mine did pretty
quickly, I recall. But that being said, I am about three and a half months
post RRP, and I still get up about twice a night. This is not really
anything much different for me than before the surgery, so I don't think
that much about it. I quit using pads at all last week sometime. Have not
had any problems (yet).

Give it some time for the bladder area to get "back on line" and it'll
get better.  The bladder has to get used to "holding water" again, the
sphincter will remember how to function and things will calm down.  My
problem immediately after removal of the garden hose was I had some
irritation which finally went away.  I had just gotten back into once
or twice a night "pee nreaks" when they started me on EBRT and HT.
The radiation caused irritaion all over again and the HT gave me
(gives me)these hellish hot flashesthat wake me up almost every hour
on th ehour, but they are subsiding a bit now.  It takes time.  It's
also funny how everyone mentions walking and kegels.  They're
right...walk...miles.  It does help.

Here's a tip for you, if you're not already doing it.

After my radiation treatment I was getting up 5-7
times a night, urinating only 50-100 ml each time.
So I put a urinal right beside the bed.  Then when
I felt the urge I got up, urinated, put the cover on
the urinal, and went right back to sleep.  I think I
lost less sleep than when I got up, stumbled into
the bathroom, and walked back every time.
